MEMBER HIGHLIGHTS
COULDN'T MISS THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO
Congratulations PE Kevin and Lisa cradling their dear first grandchild Nola June Sheehan – born at 6.05am 5 June, weighing in at 3.7kg all is well. Congratulations to Daniel and Jess - A much loved addition to the Sheehans.
TWO "PP's" & ONE NEARLY "PP"
Thank you President Robert for detailing his whereabouts last Friday: "PP Peter McCall OAM and I went down to Point Lonsdale on Friday to meet with PP Neville Barwick OAM (1991-2), who is now well into his 80s but extremely busy working on a number of community projects to improve local amenities and the environment. He comes across as being indefatigable, and certainly continues to take a keen interest in the affairs of Rotary Melbourne, if at that distance. We had a lovely wide-ranging conversation."
GLOBAL SCHOLAR UPDATE
WISH OUR GLOBAL SCHOLAR SUCCESS!
Our Iowa Global Scholar can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Katie’s research is due TOMORROW at midnight! Let the countdown begin! Incidentally, Katie has told Editor: "I checked out every one of these books!"
RI CONVENTION HAMBURG
LATEST FROM RI CONVENTION HAMBURG
Latest from "our reporter on the ground" (Mandi) at the Hamburg Convention: "I just had a great catch-up with Jason who has been a guest of the convention today. Sounds like he has been speaking to all the right people gathering great intel. We’re super confident Melbourne will be delivering one of the best conventions. Jason also proudly wore his PHF pin which I thought was awesome."
